Not every season of writing needs to be loud. Sometimes progress is quiet, steady, and entirely your own. This October, Prose in Progress returns—a free seasonal series to support fiction writers from start to finish, no matter your pace or path.

A little reminder that stories are meant to be lived in, not kept tidy. Here’s to the books (and WIPs) that keep us up past bedtime. 📚💙

Opening an editorial letter can feel overwhelming 🤮 But feedback is meant to guide you, not overwhelm you. Here are 10 tips for navigating developmental feedback with more confidence. 🧵

Interested in big-picture feedback but not sure which service to choose? Both developmental edits and manuscript assessments focus on story-level elements—but the level of depth (and price tag) is very different. Read on for the differences: 1/7 ☕

Manuscript revisions meet your morning routine. Here’s how the main stages of editing line up with a good cup of coffee. ☕ Which brew are you looking for? #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Style guide. Style sheet. One's universal. One's personalized. Both help your story stay clear and consistent. Read on for a quick breakdown. 👇🏻 #WritingCommunity 1/9 ☕

When I first started editing, I never wanted to be the person with the red pen that made writers feel small. I wanted to be the one who got it—who saw the potential in a messy draft, who left honest feedback and reader reactions in the margins...

Feeling stuck in your self-edits? You’re not alone. I created Your Story Editing Roadmap to help fiction writers revise with more clarity, confidence, and direction—without the overwhelm.

The real reason Jack had to die. 😆

Wondering what kind of editing support you might need? Let's break it down! ☕ Manuscript Assessment (brew the foundation) ☕ Developmental Editing (press deeper) ☕ Copyediting (filter with care) ☕ Proofreading (the final pour) ☕ Personalized Editorial Support (your custom blend)

The coffee’s brewed, the pages are warm, and the new Write Way Edits is officially live! ✨ I’ve been quietly reworking every part of my brand—from the visuals and messaging to my website and how I support fiction writers. And today, I’m ready to share it all with you.

Join me this week for @writersworkout.bsky.social free, virtual conference! 💙📚 My presentation, Understanding the Copyediting Process, will be released on the YouTube channel tomorrow (Tuesday, March 18) @ 1 pm EST.

An editor turned down your manuscript? DON'T PANIC. Not every editor is the right fit for every manuscript—and that’s a good thing. When an editor says they might not be the right fit, it’s not about rejecting your book. It’s about making sure you get the best editing experience.

February is National Library Lover’s Month. 💙📚 Libraries are so much more than places filled with books. They are hubs of learning, creativity, and connection. They provide access to knowledge, tools, and opportunities. They offer a safe space for all voices.

Thank you to Underdog Bookstore, AJ Somers, and Melissa Whitney for putting this together. 🩷 The charity auction is running from January 29th to 8:00PM February 5th.

I’m excited to be a part of the Book Lovers For LA charity auction benefitting 3 excellent organizations: the LA County Animal Care Foundation, the LA Fire Foundation, and the LA Regional Food Bank. I donated a copyedit/proofread of a fantasy manuscript. Any spice level and all subgenres welcome!
